He said he chose the location because it was where he initially announced his candidacy for the Senate. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure it bring back other memories, such as when he watched it being constructed when he was young.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Leahy is the longest-serving Democrat in the Senate and is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Bernie is even more fossilized than Leahy, and about as smart as a fossil too.<\/p>\n<p><b>Leahy was elected in the Democratic wave following the Watergate scandal.

I gather his performance was about as good as his stint in the Senate. In any case, now that Vermont has an open seat, everyone is fighting over which candidate would be best to send to Washington. (It won\u2019t be a Republican. They are all TransRepublicans currently in transition to full blown moonbat) The progressives would like to send a woman of some sort, or whatever is the preferred choice in the land of identity politics. (The most competent isn\u2019t even in the running)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The Senate seat in deep-blue Vermont is likely to remain in Democratic control. But some national Republicans hope Republican Gov. Phil Scott, who won reelection by 15 percentage points in 2018 as Sen. Bernie Sanders was elected to a third term, is popular in Vermont. However, he has previously said he is not interested in running for Senate.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Scott is about as Republican as Liz Cheney or Justin Amash.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/0d\/62\/a7\/0d62a7267d0cd72489687257058714e2.png?resize=243%2C284&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"243\" height=\"284\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Scott has taken a centrist approach to governing, focusing on state issues rather than national ones.

He is the only Republican to win statewide office in over a decade and is seen as the only Republican in the state who could theoretically win the seat.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, the TransRepublican voted for the Senile Pedophile and the retired prostitute. In other words he put hatred for Trump, the Greatest President in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century over the good of the country.

He said in a statement that he had not intended to leak the report, which was not classified, but that he had been careless in allowing a reporter to examine the draft alone. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>No, he was annoyed that he got caught, nothing more. He is just your standard Progressive Elitist from a state filled to the brim with Lilly white progressive elitists. Sadly, he will probably be replaced by someone who is also a Lilly white elitist who is also further to the left than Comrade Bernie Sanders.
